Al-Ma'idah 94: Oh you believers! Allah makes you witnesses against yourselves with (forbidding) a hunting that your hands and spears reach, so that it becomes apparent who (truly) fears Allah. Whoever crosses the boundaries after this, there is a severe punishment for them.

Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 94. O you who believe! Allah tests you by forbidding a game that your hands and your spears can reach, so that who truly fears Him in secret, in places where no one sees, becomes clear. Whoever oversteps the limit after this, for him there is a painful punishment.

Yes, a moment ago we said that in the verse it says: obey Allah, obey the Messenger too, and beware of evil; if you turn away from obedience, know that the Messenger's, Our Messenger's duty is to proclaim clearly, we said. Yes, and if we read the paragraph too: Allah Almighty, constantly showing people the paths of guidance, commands that people turn to good and beware of evil; in this way He grants the right to life to all the people and creatures He created, we said. Now the counterpart of this verse, of this word, is this verse. What does it say? O you who believe, Allah — a game that your (?), your (?) can reach — with a hunt, He forbids it.

He forbids it. He grants those animals the right to life. Yes.

He forbids hunting. He tests, so that who truly fears Him in secret, in places where no one sees, becomes clear. Whoever oversteps the limit after this, for him there is a painful punishment. Yes.

So how beautifully Allah Almighty gives us life with His verses, gives His creatures life, and in this way, of this whole world the (?), these creatures that balance one another — He keeps their existence going. Yes. Because the decline of one of the creatures He created upsets the balances in that region. At one time they hunted the cheetahs, monkeys overran the place, and so everywhere was drowned in filth. Then they understood that these cheetahs were not created in vain, and again they breed cheetahs and put them in that region. Yes. This is what our Lord has given His creatures, sir, what He laid down for the creatures He created so that they keep this world in balance — how beautifully He tells us these laws.

Allah Almighty tests people with prohibitions. Allah has no need to test; He makes us witnesses against ourselves. Through the deeds we have done, He makes us witnesses against ourselves. Allah, who made all people's (?), (?) and wishes their destiny, although He knows what people will do, through the deeds these people will do, makes people witnesses against themselves, to (?) and to His Being. By what he does. By what that person does, He makes him a witness against himself. Yes. Leaving no room for the slightest objection from people against Allah Almighty's Being, people are called to account for their own mistakes.

Allah Almighty has attributes of Godhood.

Yes. What was Allah Almighty's attribute of Godhood? No one will be able to question Allah Almighty. Whatever reason he might ask about, that question will have come to light and the person will have proven himself in the face of that question. For this reason he will be cut off from asking.

As understood from this verse too: by forbidding a game that their hands and spears can reach — who, in secret, in places where no one sees, fearing Allah, keeps Allah's commands and who does not, how they will behave — it is so that We make them witnesses to it themselves, He commands. That is, this person: the state's laws can't see me here. I'm alone here. My Lord told me not to hunt this, but I — this, here no one sees me. I'll hunt this. A place his hand and spear can reach, it says. I hunted the animal.

Is there any place in this universe that Allah Almighty does not see?

Now they bring the world just as it is onto the computer screen. Does it come? It does.

If the world is before a person's eyes, when you enlarge it down to the cells there, however much you see, you see; Allah Almighty, who brought the universe into being from nothing, who creates within His own rule in all His creations — (?), I wonder, a place in the universe He does not see — could it remain? Could a place where He is not remain?

So from Allah Almighty, who is present and watching everywhere, no one can hide. No one can conceal himself. Even if he is behind strong fortresses. Yes. What does it say there? We will find you there all the same, He says. Even if you are behind strong fortresses. Even if you go out (?) and go to the remotest corner of the universe, We will find you there all the same, He says. Yes. From here this verse yields that, according to the last verse I mentioned, in the remotest corner of the universe, like the life of the world, there is a life, a living. And the remotest corner of that is what? A planet, I suppose. They send satellites there, and in the result they got: a life suitable for earthly life exists.

But don't misunderstand my words; I'm not saying creatures live there, look. I'm not saying there are living creatures. Nor am I saying there are beings living there. Besides man, there is no being in the universe created as the noblest of creatures. But according to our Lord's verse — even if you leave your world, to flee death go to the remotest corner of the universe, We will find you there all the same — according to that verse, today perhaps they will go there, perhaps they will stay there. Who will go there? Mankind. Allah Almighty says: We made the lights of the sky an adornment for you. Adornment, adornment — what is it? Ornaments. So within them, who knows, rubies, corals, adornments exist. What does it tell us?

It directs us to leave our world, to visit the galaxies — man, because He created man talented, created him most honorable; man is not a weakling. For this reason, with the good works man does, Allah Almighty takes pride before the angels: Did you see, He says, look at the human I created, what he does. But that poor man, after ideology, after (?), after lust he runs; those ruled by Allah's verses are none. And so the Muslim was left in barrenness. They left it barren and say this is the religion of Islam. Yet the religion of Islam is a religion that rules the future, yes, rules the future. Leave the past.

It is a religion that (?) the bright future.

Non-Muslims know the Quran's verses very well. For this reason, with research, (?) people, with Allah's verses, today with satellites travel between the galaxies. They send rockets. Yes.

Let us know our religion well. The religion of Islam is not a religion that Allah Almighty sent to all people. It is His command.

If He had not given this command, yes, to talented man, today people would not be in this state. So if today they are taking steps to go to the remotest corner of the universe, again they are going by research based on the verses.

If man says Islam is anarchy, that the religion of Islam is not a valid religion — if he says so, he ascribes (?) to Allah Almighty; he abolishes Allah's attribute of justice, if the religion of Islam is anarchy, and accuses Allah Almighty of impotence if the religion of Islam is not valid. If every mind, although it knows there is a God who created it, out of the arrogance and pride of his own self denies Allah, then man has proven in this world the wrong he does to his own self. But neither his hand nor he himself rises to Allah Almighty. The deeds he has done rise to Him, and in the end this person earns the eternal, endless punishment of hell.

So the religion of Islam is valid for all people, and the religion of Islam is the one that will take us furthest, that will make us take steps forward, a religion that is the source of technology. So those who, putting Islam to sleep, all this time rose themselves by doing research within the verses of the religion of Islam, who present the religion of Islam as superstition and want to rule over the religion of Islam and (?) rot it — poor people — in the steps these people take, in the works they do, they will meet with loss in the end. In the end they will meet with loss. Yes. Because if the world had been run according to their wishes and desires, the world would long ago have been turned upside down. They, He says, prepare a trap, and I, He says, prepare a trap against them. But I am the best of those who prepare traps, says Allah Almighty.

So if it had been left to their (?), this world would long ago have been turned upside down. Yet Allah Almighty has programmed these worlds, and this world will carry on according to this program. Did they think, He says, that with the blowing of their mouths they would put out Allah's light? They — Allah will keep His religion going until the Day of Judgment, He says.

Yes.

As understood from this verse too: by forbidding a game that their hands and spears can reach — who, in secret, in places where no one sees, fearing Allah, keeps Allah's commands and who does not, how they will behave — it is so that We make them witnesses to it themselves, He commands. From this verse it is also understood that for Allah there is no hidden place; that even far from people and living beings, in strong fortresses and cellars, there is no place where Allah does not know and see His creations — this it makes known.

Allah Almighty makes known His existence and what He wants from people in this way, with His verses, with His constructive verses, clearly to people. He informs them of what they will do, and if these people still, Allah and His Messenger, do not recognize, (?) their nafs and Satan, and overstep the bounds, for such people in the hereafter there is a painful punishment. For this reason, if man has believed in Allah and the Last Day, without violating Allah Almighty's prohibitions, without overstepping the bounds, observing His verses, he must be careful about His commands and prohibitions. If Allah Almighty's verses are taken lightly and the reckoning day of the hereafter is forgotten, Allah Almighty makes known the painful punishment He has prepared for such people.

Yes.
